In 1483, Hans Memling received a commission for a large altarpiece which would come to be known as God the Father with Singing and Music-Making Angels. The 21st century restoration of this masterpiece provided the impetus for a recording project featuring Wim Becu and Oltremontano Antwerpen, plus Tiburtina Ensemble, directed by Barbora Kabatkova. Music from Memling's time is performed on instruments recreated from the altarpiece especially for the recording.
